There’s a system in the Caribbean we’ll be tracking in the Dove Hurricane Guide that could impact our weather next week. For now, it’s trying to cleanup after part of North Carolina was hit with over 20 inches of rain from a no-name storm. The storm that has soaked the Carolinas didn’t have a name, but that didn’t matter. Winds gusted at close to 80 mph, roads have been washed out, and power is out to many. For more on the 2024 hurricane season please keep the Dove Hurricane Guide handy.
